It's one of the first things you see when you go to the page. Also, I was considering distributing a CD with the site on it along with the standard paper resume when I deliver it to employers.

I don't see why. It includes things that most employers ask about anyway at an interview.

One resumes, your most recent jobs should be on top of older jobs.


Also, the site looks very amateurish. Reminds me of an old tripod website.

Also, the fact that you're a web designer and this is what your site looks like pretty much guarantees you won't get a job as a web designer.

I have chosen the web as my medium to express my abilities and ideas because I believe showing what I can do through the means of which I will be expected to do it gives my clients a real feel for the quality of service that they can expect
